No more room for Lisp objects

["Bruce L. Lambert" <lambertb@uic.edu>]

I just installed clisp-1997-08-07 on a dual pentium pro machine running
Solaris 2.5.1.

Everything went fine. When I invoke

unix> clisp -W

I expect no memory limitations. But when I try to allocate the big data
structure I need, I get the dreaded "No more room" message.

> (make-hash-table :size 1000000))

*** - No more room for LISP objects

This machine has lots of memory. For example:

unix> limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        524288 kbytes
stacksize       130336 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
vmemoryuse      unlimited
descriptors     1024

What do I need to do to be able to allocate bigger data structures. I know
I've been through this before with some people on this list. Thanks in
advance.
